Investigators: Evald Grude caught on surveillance

A south Orlando clothing store employee is facing multiple counts of fraud after investigators said he stole a tourist’s pre-paid debit card and used it at the Apple store.

Deputies said 21-year-old Evald Grude admitted to pocketing the debit card. He then took his lunch break from the Hollister clothing store at the Florida Mall and made the short walk down to the Apple store, deputies said.

He bought a laptop and an iPad, then went home and sold the electronics on Craigslist, according to deputies.

Deputies said it was all caught on surveillance, and they arrested Grude.

Authorities said they believe Grude targeted the Brazilian tourist in the mistaken belief that prosecutors would not bring her back to testify against him.
